No one was injured as a 12-hour standoff on Highway 95 north of Lapwai ended peacefully Sunday afternoon.
Authorities say an unidentified man reportedly had a weapon when he barricaded himself in his vehicle parked off the highway at Tom Beall Road around 1 AM. He left the vehicle just after 1 PM and was taken into custody.
The incident blocked the highway for hours. Once the man surrendered, the road was reopened to traffic after being rerouted on Red Duck Lane and Thunder Hill Road.
Nez Perce Tribal officers, the FBI, and Nez Perce County deputies responded to the scene, along with Lewiston paramedics. (Lewiston Tribune)
